I don't think I could have found a more perfect place with quality taste, and affordable meals for the size that you get. This place is a hidden gem that I don't know why it's not busting out the seams. I ordered a chicken Shawarma sandwich. An order of grape leaves an order of their chicken shish and their beef shish and I have been able to meal prep for 4 days plus have a good lunch. I walked in at about 2:30 on a Thursday afternoon, and a young kid greeted me and went over the menu with me. The ambience is very clean straightforward nicely decorated. I will have to go back with my partner to try the buffet on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

I knew we were in the right area so I yelped and you didn't fail me! This is hand down the best tasting Mediterranean I have had since the original "HALA cafe" owners retired in early 2000's. The buffet had all the good stuff including super fresh tabouleh! I'll go into more on that but first I'll tell you that I didn't get many pictures because I joined the clean plate club! There was Kabob and fresh Dolmas, chicken schwarma, a wrap with lamb and chicken marinated so well you didn't need to dip it in babaganoush but....I did! Hummus and chickpea soup, fresh pita and cucumber salad. Oh, and now more about the tabouleh, It's been so long since I've been able to eat out and get tabbouleh. Many of the faux med gyro and that chain Cava don't even have it on the menu because you have to make it fresh and can't buy it in bulk from the restaurant supply. Lemon, oh the flavor of the herbs and oil with the lemon was all that I could hope for. The owners have really made this place special. The little upscale touches like velvet curtains, marble wrapped tables, covers on the chairs and music that makes you feel happy! Right now I need happy and this place delivered!

The food was authentic, delicious and plentiful! Several of my Middle Eastern friends had recommended. I took my Turkish friend there for the lunch buffet and he gave it 2 thumbs up. Will definitely return!

IF there is anything bad to say it is this. I found out they have been open now for about 2 years and unless I had been told it was there, I would never have known. The restaurant is almost invisible while driving down the street. Now for the GREAT. The service is amazing. We were met by a young man whose name is YMAN (forgive the spelling) and he is a pleasure. He is present enough that if you need anything he is there but not to the point of being overwhelming. The FOOD. One our first visit we at from the dinner menu and the portions were very nice. My wife had the chicken sheesh and I had the lamb sheesh. We had enough to bring home a meal for the following day. Today (Friday) we returned and enjoyed the buffet. I wont ruin anyones idea of what should be on the buffet, but there was a great selection. Again, WOW. I cant say enough about how good it was. We will return.

An Arab neighbor had recommended this place a while ago and I have been craving it ever since. He told to make sure to go on the weekend when they have their signature buffet. The place is completely unpretentious, decoration is simple, but the food does all the talking. I started out with some delicious falafel, hummus, tabbouleh and baba ganush with some pita bread. I then went for the kebab and the rice with lamb, omg this was so goodddd!! I ended filling my plate no less than 3 times. The end of the buffet is topped with typical desserts and fruits from which the baklava was my favourite.

One of the very best Mediterranean foods I've ever had. The best part is they offer All-You-Can-Eat (AYCE) on Fridays/Saturday/Sunday which is the best way to take advantage of most of the food they offer. Aside from those days, they offer their regular menu items. And if you are planning to come eat at Syriana Grill, come here very hungry, be prepared to feast and fill that belly with goodness. Pretty much everything I tried that day from the buffet was delicious, in exception to the Grape Leaves which was just okay to me. We came to eat here on a Friday and was seated right away. Awesome, attentive service. Inside decor and atmosphere is very inviting. Definitely will be coming back again, and again, and again.

This restaurant is perhaps the best middle eastern cuisine I have had in the United States (not just Jacksonville). Each of the dishes we had was perfectly prepared, flavored, and presented. We ordered a mixed grill platter family style. It was amazing! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who is seeking an authentic taste of Syrian and Lebanese cuisine. The service was impeccable and the restaurant was exceptionally clean with a beautiful ambiance. I will be back to try their buffet.
